Dancing On Ice 2011 contestant Chloe Madeley has claimed that ice skating is a very sexy and physical sport, even wondering if Torvill and Dean have ever been together. Chatting to The Sun ahead of tomorrow night's performance show, Chloe said she could see how the ice was a hotbed for romance.

"With me and Michael it's different because he's married and I just started a new relationship," Chloe told the tabloid. "It's hard because you're so physical. You spend every day together and I can see how it kind of unfolds very naturally."

Talking about the show's coaches and Olympic gold medallists Torvill and Dean, Chloe asked: "Have they or haven't they?"

She continued: "It must be incredibly hard to keep a professional line. With Torvill and Dean I don't get it. They said they'd been skating together since they were 15.

"I nearly said to them, 'You really never have...'. But then I thought, 'Really unprofessional, Chloe, don't say that'."

The telly presenter added: "You've got to respect T & D, but it is bizarre."
